Colearn Classical Communities

Launching Fall 2023!

Colearn Classical Communities are built for families who want to dive deep into the study of History, Science and Enrichment. We are utilizing a loose Classical education model, designed to be a fun and non-stressful way for students to connect, learn, build confidence, and create lasting friendships.

We will be studying History and Science utilizing a 4 year approach. All students in the program will be exposed to the same information, but at their age level. The cycle repeats every 4 years, helping to reinforce concepts learned at an earlier age, as the students mature and grow. We utilize the 3 stages of learning in the Classical model:

Grammar Stage (grades K-5)- At this stage, students learn through memorization, soaking up information through song, games, and hands- on exploration of their world. This stage lays the foundation of all future areas of study in a child's life.

Logic Stage (Middle School)- In the Logic stage, students are encouraged to dive deep, ask questions, and analyze information. During this stage, there is an emphasis on using logic to ask questions, analyze and organize facts that they have learned. 

Rhetoric Stage (High School)- In this stage, students are ready to use the skills laid in the foundations of their learning to form conclusions and to express themselves with confidence. Students are taught to analyze and synthesize their own thoughts, beliefs and opinions. 

	Diving Deep into History All grade levels will study the same 4 year cycle of History. The cycle repeats every 4 years, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of historical time periods as students advance through the grammar, logic and rhetoric stages. Year One: Ancients Year Two: Medieval/Early Renaissance Year Three: Late Renaissance/Early Modern Year Four: Modern Times
A Classical Perspective on Science All grade levels will learn the same topics, but the topics will be taught appropriate to the student's stage of growth. After four years, students will begin again the cycle, enabling deeper understanding, rigor and depth of study.  Year One: Biology Year Two: Earth Science and Astronomy Year Three: Chemistry Year Four: Physics
	Art Exploration Students will have the opportunity to explore their talents and interests through Art classes. Students will delve into drawing, painting, and other mediums to produce a portfolio of work that connects history, science and creativity.
